The team of hosts, who include Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, are set to bring the show back with an almighty bang as they prepare for a 1980's-style police chase - all while adorning fake moustaches of course.

The trio will boast some truly impressive facial hair while doing what they do best - creating chaos.

During Sunday night's show, the presenters will be seen smashing an armoured police vehicle through a wall, staging a rally in a supermarket by decorating their cars in Christmas wrapping paper and smashing them through the store.

And if that's not enough to whet viewers appetites, the threesome will head to Burma in their oversees challenge, which, according to the Daily Star, will see them "cross the wilds in decrepit old lorries."

The show, which received a record number of downloads on iPlayer last year, will also see Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville as the "star in a reasonably priced car" and will head round the test track in a Vauxhall Astra with The Stig.
